ITN and ODYSSEY will be on hand to provide you with the very best personalized service from the time that you arrive in the United States until your departure from the United States upon completion of your program.

Description of the Location:
Just 30 minutes from downtown Dallas, this family-friendly Texas city caters to visitors of all stripes, offering plenty of attractions, over 800 diverse restaurants and the kind of shopping you’d find in cities twice its size, ranging from sprawling malls and outlets to unique downtown shops (and more venues set to open). Plano’s welcoming vibe is reinforced by its more than 40 hotels here catering to all budgets and styles. It’s also home to some of the most high-profile companies in the USA. Affordable, accessible and easy-going, it’s no wonder that Forbes anointed it America’s Safest City in 2011.
